Hints and Tips for Speakers

All contact information logos and banners should be at the bottom of the screen to enable more of the audience to see a large proportion of the slides.

You present from a raised area, there are quite often audience members standing, so they don’t all get to see all of the screen.

The pub can be fairly full, which means some people may be out of sight – but we have a microphone you can use to save your voice

Feel free to use a presentation, however we much prefer presentations which aren’t read out word for word as do the audience.

Our projector has HDMI input.

Any slides can be sent to SciBar a minimum of 24 hours before a presentation so a laptop can be arranged to be brought to the talk on your behalf which will have your slides loaded on it.

In case of technology issues we request that you email your slides to info@macclesfeildsciBar.co.uk ahead of your talk. Rachael’s laptop will be at every SciBar and works with our projector.

After a brief introduction by Rachael, the talk generally lasts 35 – 40 mins, then we have a break where we asks the audience if they have questions then I go between the speaker and the audience with the microphone.

We really hope you enjoy presenting to Macclesfield SciBar and look forward to welcoming you on the night or to see a talk beforehand.
